I talk a lot, don’t I?

Of course!

And a lot, if not all of it makes SENSE. Hence that ever expanding LIST I have …

The one the Bozos are scared of for one, hehe.

But really, I dont say it unless it makes sense.

And though you might expect me to be a garrulous person in every sense of the word, I’m NOT.

I did those LOOONNNG workouts on the hill – by myself.

(and the short ones too)

Sure, people would join in sometimes.

But most of the time, it was me on my lonesome, slogging up that hill for hours on end.

I do my writing by myself.

I don’t do business in partnership with others as much as you might expect, although this might change in the near future.

And so forth.

And even when I’m WITH others, lets say at a gathering or what not, even if it’s me drinking BEER with a buddy – I LISTEN more than I talk for the most part.

There is a time, my friend, to keep your yap shut – and when to let it OPEN.

One time for the former is when someone is instructing you – or others to do something.

Por ejemepelo, that basketball coach I wrote about, or perhaps even some of the swimming coaches I’ve seen.

One made the comment years ago to my wife who was getting “coached” by him.

“You dont need a coach”, he said. “Look at your husband, swimming so well like a fish!”

And I wasn’t even doing the strokes correctly, hehe.

But swimming is one of those things I’ve loved, and you know me with things I love. I’ll find a way!

(We were taught to do breaststroke etc the WRONG way – for pools. Works great in the ocean though …)

(and to save your ass)

But anyway …

Often times, looking at these coaches, I felt the urge to jump in and SAY something.

But other than exchanging pleasantries with the coach, I didnt.

Even though sometimes I saw what they were doing, and the WAY in which they were doing it was wrong – I did not say anything.

And I continue NOT to until this day.

And when yours truly teaches, if someone interrupts, or tells me “how I should be doing it?”

The former is asked to leave.

To the latter, I tell them I dont care how much they pay me. But if I teach, I ain’t interested in “learning how to teach from you”.

You’d be amazed at how many whippersnappers and idiots that can’t do the thing themselves try and do this.

And yes, I’ve turned down and REJECTED high paying “jobs” for this very reason.

A) if the students aren’t serious, I’m not going to do it.

B) If they tell me how and what to do, guess what. It ain’t happening. Find another sucka.

A highly paid job in China which was paying me very well and I was working … 8 hours a week for them. Thats all. 8 hours!

And I was getting paid what I would – or what others would in a MONTH.

I LEFT it due to the above reasons.

Nothing is sacrosanct that way for me – if it dont work – well … I don’t do it.

And so, to end this – same thing I emphasize on my coaching calls as well.

Know when you keep your yap shut – and when to let it run.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
